Taj Mahal - a different perspective
If you have exhausted taking pictures of Taj Mahal from all the conventional angles, then the place you need to go is Mehtab Bagh in Agra!
From Mehtab Bagh you can take pictures of Taj with its reflection in Jamuna river! Mehtab Bagh is a garden which is on the other side of the river Yamuna exactly opposite to Taj Mahal. From here one gets an uninterrupted view of the back side of Taj Mahal. I must say this place is a photographer’s delight!
When I went there in March 2011, unfortunately the Jamuna river was dry and I was utterly disappointed! Although the river was dry, I got something else which is very awesome!
When I went there the atmosphere was totally different and the Taj was completely covered with early morning mist! As the sun rose, the Taj was getting slowly exposed from the early morning mist and the sight was awesome! Wow! That was much better than what I had expected! I am sure anyone who sees the pictures I took would agree with me.
On the right-hand side bottom of every picture I have given the time at which it was shot! Take a look!
